This year's 10'5 has received a few tweaks in it's outline and V specifications to vastly improve Starboard's best seller.
The outline has been brought in at the lifted nose and widened around the stance. This creates more outline curve making it more responsive, yet smooth through turns because of the addition of a fraction more V though the tail. The 2011 upgraded Drive retains all the classic characteristics which made it a favorite for being easy to ride, while paddling and on a wave. More than anything the Drive feels alive on a wave.
